projects, finished and in progress

on growing up: projects from college

  • exploring the neighborhood: a senior year essay. written for a literature class on nature writing that became the central activity of my life when the pandemic hit; about annie dillard and the town i grew up in and birds and what it means to be human.
  • snippets: junior year collection of little pieces. every day january-september 2019 i wrote a few hundred words of creative non-fiction and posted it on my instagram.
  • drupelets: sophomore year newsletters. the original source of the blackberry drawing used on this site. i wrote issues anonymously and would drop ~30 paper copies in the hallways of mit each tuesday night.
  • semester i & semester ii: freshman year zines. included not because i am proud of them (indeed, it is uncomfortable to look back on them!) but to honor what it was to be seventeen and overwhelmed and trying to figure things out.

on the internet

  • neocities site: created in autumn 2020, a personal website intended to capture the vibe of my college dorm room. i loved making the auto-regenerating (and admittedly inaccessible) voronoi home page and an assortment of other small pages.
  • this site: linked are some reflections on what i’m up to with this present site!
